Bengaluru: The state transport department has suspended the licence of taxi aggregator Ola and ordered immediate stoppage of its services in Bengaluru.
It is gathered that this action comes in the backdrop of illegal operation of bike taxis by the company.
As per the order issued by the department on March 18 the licence issued to Ani Technologies Private Limited, Ola cabs Bangalore, under the provisions of The Karnataka on Demand Transport Technology Aggregators Rules, 2016, has been suspended for a period of six months. Ola was also directed to surrender the licence to the authority concerned within three days of receiving the order copy.
Meanwhile, the department has also directed the RTOs to enforce the rules if Ola continued to operate taxis in the city by defying the order. However, fewer vehicles were plying in the city on Friday, March 22.
The transport department’s move to suspend Ola’s cab aggregator licence for six months is likely to impact both passengers and drivers.
